U. which was held at | Jefferson June 2 was indeed a success. Mrs. A. F. Funder burk's talk was splendid. The 1 article also by Mrs. Ed Miller . was especially good .and she read it so impressively. In fact ' all the program was well carried out. 1 We had with us also Mrs. J. R. , Fiser, secretary of S. C. W. M. , U. of Columbia. Now this is : just a plainlv stated fact but no one except those who were present knows what that fact means. Mrs. Fiser is one ot the best speakers we have heard and there is a magnetism about her personality that is simply charming. It is an inspiration indeed to be witn her and we felt like every minute of her presence with us was precious. She car ried us to the hilltops and gave us a glimpse of the great and beautiful work we are trying to have a part, though small it may be in doing. She inspired us with strength and courage and enthusiasm that we shall not soon forget. The S. C. W. M. U. is very fortunate indeed in having such an officer as she is. This division was also made glad by having with us Mrs. B. S. Funderburg and Mrs. Charles Rivers of Chesterfield. Thev were helpful in making our meeting a success. Those good women of Jefferson also deserve mention, but there were so many who were so kind to us that we cannot mention names here for fear of the waste basket. The next meeting of the Chesterfield W. M. U. will be our Annual Convention, which will be held in September with the Cross Roads church. Edna V. Funderburk.
